Camden Courier-Post — February 23, 1954
A Barrington man went to county jail for 30 days after Judge Dzick ruled him guilty of passing worthless check for rental of an auto.
The sentence — 30 days and $25 fine — was imposed on Ralph Visco, 35, of 338B Barrington Manor Apartments. Visco, police said, operates a filling station at 100 Grove Street, Haddonfield.
He was arrested on complaint of Augustus Gondolf; manager of an auto rental agency, 35 North 5th Street. Gondolf charged Visco tendered him a worthless check for $178 last December 10.
When arraigned today, Visco told Prosecutor Anthony Lario he wanted to make restitution and took a check from his pocket.
Dzick said he thought Visco had “a lot of nerve offering to make good on a bad check with another check” and added:
“I’m getting a little tired of persons passing worthless checks and I don’t care whether the checks are made good later… the crime occurs when the check is first passed.”
Alexander Chambers; 50, of 635 North 5th Street, was held for grand jury action, charged with rape on a 14 year-old girl. He pleaded not guilty. Chambers was arrested on a complaint of the girl’s mother.
Judge Dzick fined two men $10 each for assault and battery. Fined were John Tubman, 635 Locust Street, and James Jones, 238 Chestnut Street.
